Baking with sugar in the raw

I am thinking of using Sugar in the raw for my holiday cut out cookies. Has anyone used this and what results have you had?

Sugar in the raw is a larger grain size, right?  I'm not sure how'd that work.

Why are you planning on using it?  Sugar in the raw has been processed, just not as much as white sugar - from what I understand.

I buy Turbinado sugar.  It is made by a company called "Sugar in the Raw".  It works just fine in baking and cooking and even in coffee.  I know the later because my husband always says he likes it best.

I have never had a problem with substituting plain white (or brown) sugar for turbinado.

I"ve never had a problem with turbinado either.  I'm making Sparkled Ginger Cookies from VWAV this year which specifically calls for raw sugart.  I'm anxious to see how they turn out.

I bow to the bakers.  My oven sees actions only a couple of times a year.

I use Sugar in the Raw all the time. It's basically the only sugar I use. It's great for baking and for making liquids with because it dissolves easily. I don't think it's processed at all, either.

I use Wholesome Sweeteners Evaporated Cane Juice Organic Sugar.  ( It's organic AND fair trade.  :) )  It tastes kind of molassasy.  Is that how sugar in the raw tastes?

Edit:  Has anyone shopped a middle eastern store for less expensive sugar?  It occurred to me tonight that the bone char process isn't halal, so it might be less expensive than sugar at a HFS.  Anyone know?

No...the only ethnic stores we have around here are chinese and hispanic groceries.  I wish we did have more of a variety of different stores.
